I hear you. Just remember that the one meant for you is out there - don't give up. Rejection is redirection and I truly believe that the firm that is meant for you will be the 1 yes that you need. You have amazing credentials and the right firm for you will recognize how great you are! ❤️So I didn’t get a single Vac Scheme again.
After a dozen applications, dozens of tests, multiple interviews, multiple ACs, not 1 Vac scheme offer.
I have:
- a first class degree from a Russell group university
- A distinction at the GDL
- an LSE Corporate Law diploma
- Over 4 legal work experiences including being a paralegal for over a year in a London city firm.
- Over 6 other work experiences non law related
- I speak multiple languages
- And was a music and sports scholar at school
- I have also worked for multiple charities
And after all this, I still don’t have a Vac scheme offer.
Someone prevent me from just giving everything up after all that effort.
What is it I can do? After all this I’m still not good enough ?
Had an invite for AC just come throughJust asking again if anyones heard anything post WG for Orrick.

It’s really a game of luck at the end of the day unfortunately it’s frustrating that you can do everything that grad rec recommends to make your application stand out and attend countless fairs and events, but it really does come down to luck.So I didn’t get a single Vac Scheme again.

Haha ye same for me.Had an invite for AC just come through
You are getting multiple interviews and assessment centres - you clearly are a good candidate to be getting to those stages frequently.So I didn’t get a single Vac Scheme again.

From previous feedback, I have been told I do not score high enough during Business Case Studies.You are getting multiple interviews and assessment centres - you clearly are a good candidate to be getting to those stages frequently.
It sounds like you may just need some practice or focus on interviewing skills or potentially another type of assessment. What feedback have you received from firms when you have reached interview/assessment centre stage?
I am in a similar situation. It's not about being good enough or not. It all comes down to many factors including luck. For example, in my first cycle I did one vac scheme app and I got it. In my second cycle, I did more than 10 and didn't even reach AC for one. In my third (and current) cycle, I did more than 20 apps and reached AC and TI stage with a few firms.So I didn’t get a single Vac Scheme again.
